Abstract

In recent years, the governance and management of the flow of Venezuelan migration in Ecuador has been questioned, so that several countries in the South American region have modified migration legislation in accordance with international standards, protecting the rights of migrants as all human beings in vulnerable situations, who have traveled miles to reach Ecuador in search of opportunities, This has led to an increase in the number of evicted families, in a situation of mobility with a greater burden of difficulties when accessing basic services, including the most worrying, health in the face of a global health problem such as the pandemic, in addition to mental health problems associated with xenophobia, stigma, begging, among others. A qualitative approach was used with theoretical and analytical methods and data collection through interviews with representatives of the Venezuelan community in Guayas; information is generated on the needs of this target group and the management of the migration flow with a more conscious management, with a focus on reducing stigma, prevailing human rights with actions that allow the generation of opportunities by applying public policy with the objective of protecting migrants located in the city of Guayaquil.
